It will be interesting to see what engine they would pair the hybrid up with. Probably a 2.3 ecoboost to suit the us market? With the much improved fuel economy and power making it better suited as a diesel substitute?

I think too many people in Australia won't accept anything but a diesel for their utes. A hybrid with a 2.3 ecoboost would have enough and more torque without the fuel bill but people are not quick to change. And Ford would be crazy to drop the diesel and risk it just yet. If they made them a NCO and see how many pick the diesel over the Petrol Hybrid, that would make things interesting and a good market study.
